Back in March SUPboarder put out a post giving paddlers the opportunity to join the N1SCO UK race series and give racing a go this summer. Naish were looking for 10 passionate paddleboarders of all levels to take part in 6 races across the country, and in return they would give you a Naish one design board (N1SCO) to use for the season. 10 paddleboarders were chosen, and then after lots of emails and phone calls boards were shipped all around the country to local shops, for the new Naish riders to collect. Below are the lucky 10 SUPboarders…
I paddle mainly in Portland harbour but have ventured into South Devon. Last year I did the fun race at the battle of the thames and really enjoyed it so thought I would give some longer races a go
Paddling experience- mainly messing around in the harbour. What I most enjoy about sup – being out on the water when it is sunny and glassy flat. It is also really good exercise.
I am a complete novice so have only been paddling at Bray Lake and Quayside water sports, Battle of the Thames is my first event. I will be joining the Blue Chip SUP club for paddles in around Surrey
I have taken on a challenge this year to complete a 40 mile SUP from Oxford to Reading in July to raise money for Cancer Research and Children with Cancer. SUP4Change
I most enjoy the great workout and freedom of being out on the water!
The first race for the N1SCO team will be at the ‘Battle of the Thames’ on the 9/05/15 hosted by Blue Chip SUPer club. Good luck to all of the competitors, have fun and paddle hard.
